Product Description

A fine cigar should not balance perilously upon an ashtray not suited to the task. El Casco has designed a proper ashtray with larger-than-average indentations to cradle the cigar. The crystal glass ashtray is bedded in a solid, felt-protected base and is removable for cleaning. The gold or chrome base is solid and heavy, the ashtray has 4 cigar holders, and the small standing cup -- the icing on the cake in our opinion -- is a match holder. 24% lead crystal.

El Casco was founded in Eibar, Spain, back in 1920 when two gentlemen named Juan set out to make fine revolvers. Somehow, somewhere, things got lost in translation and today El Casco ("The Helmet") designs and manufactures the world's finest desk accessories. Truth be told, when the Depression of 1929 diminished the market for impressive pistols, El Casco began to diversify their offerings by adding well-crafted stationary articles to their arsenal.

Focusing on superior materials, interchangeable pieces and using rivets for assembly, El Casco's designs allow for decades of use. Now in the 21st Century, El Casco is guided by five families whose dedication to enhancing their products' performance and presentation is unrivaled the world over. Experience Tradition and Quality Since 1920.
